When the clock strikes twelve the skeletons go out for a ride… With humorous songs and colorful decorations we celebrate this very important tradition. The Day of the Dead is a Mexican tradition celebrated on November 1st 2nd that honors our loved ones that have departed.

Here are two lovely bilingual books to read this week and a fabulous Gift Card Giveaway!

Un libro bilingüe, en donde dos niños preparan un altar con flores, calaveritas de azúcar, pan de muertos y comida deliciosa.Follow two children as they celebrate their ancestors on this vibrant holiday. They offer marigolds, sugar skulls, and special bread, and make delicious food. By spreading marigold petals, they guide the dead home to join the festivities.

It’s the Day of the Dead! It’s time to celebrate! In this bilingual book, a young girl is busy helping her family prepare to honor those who have died–especially her grandfather. She misses him very much and is excited for his spirit to visit that night.
